My Vision Board

Vision Boards.  I heard about these a little over a year ago.  I was never big into Oprah or similar shows, and no one I knew was really talking about them, so I had no idea what they were or what the purpose was.  A vision board is a way to use the "laws of attraction" to make things happen in your life.  You get a board and put pictures or words that represent things you want out of life.

I started w/ this plain cork message board I bought at Walmart like a year ago. (Yeah, that's how long it took me to get this thing moving.)  I thought it was too plain. I wanted it to be happy and colorful, because I need happy and colorful right now.  So I covered it with scrapbook paper.  Sparkly, colorful, girly scrapbook paper.  And added a blingy sticker.  To me the hard part was finding pictures or sayings that represented what I want.  I'm still not 100% done with it.  I had to go through SO many magazines.  (Between my parents and I we have subscriptions to Essence, Ebony, O, Men's Health, Ladies Home Journal and Prevention.)  I actually printed a couple of things that I knew I wouldn't find in any magazine.

Things represented on my board: getting my DVM, money (financial security, stability, debt management), marriage and family (meaning babies), health (spiritual, mental and physical) and weight loss, new car and house.  I didn't put anything related to friends and family on there because honestly, that's a pretty good part of my life.  I have awesome friends and family.  Even if they get on my nerves occasionally I couldn't ask for better.  I also need to find something to represent travel.  Because that's something I want to be able to do.

Here's some pics of what I have so far:
